Hickory Haven A-Frame cabin nestled among tall pine trees in the Indiana hills
French Lick, Indiana

Built from hickory,
crafted for retreat

Every joint hand-planed, every beam placed with intention. This is the A-frame we built the way we wish we could find it — honest timber, soaring ceilings, and a view that makes you forget the world below.

Our Story

We built this cabin
like we'd build our own

Hickory Haven started with a simple conviction: a getaway should feel like coming home to something better. We sourced hickory and white oak from regional mills, chose materials that age gracefully, and designed every detail for the kind of stay we ourselves crave.

Nestled on a quiet ridge outside French Lick, our A-frame isn't just a place to sleep — it's a pause button. A place where the only schedule is the sunset and the only notification is the wind in the pines.

The Cabin

A frame that frames
the best of Indiana

Floor-to-peak windows catch morning light and evening gold. Inside, the vaulted ceiling draws your eye upward — and the stone fireplace keeps you grounded.

Soaring 16-foot ceilings wrapped in hand-selected hickory. The stone fireplace is the heart of the room — and the reason you'll want to linger.

Cozy bedroom loft with wood walls and mountain views through large windows

Sleeping Loft

Upstairs loft with a queen bed framed by panoramic windows. Fall asleep to starlight and wake to birdsong — no alarm clock included.
